Notes / Comments

BUAD 2301 is being changed to BUAD 3301 for the 2023–24 catalog. BUAD 2301 will still be allowed to transfer (work in progress per the dept) and count for BUAD 3301, however, it will not count for advanced hours since BUAD 2301 is not an advanced course, and the new course will be advanced.
Finance Electives – select one of the following:
- FINC 3330 Financial Spreadsheet Modeling
- FINC 4080 Independent Study
- FINC 4085 Special Topic
- FINC 4315 Entrepreneurial/Small Firm Fin
- FINC 4325 Selling Financial Services

- FINC 4340 International Finance
- FINC 4355 Security Analy & Portfolio Mgt
- FINC 4365 Sem in Financial Derivatives
- FINC 4389 Undergrad Internship in Fin
ACCT 3314 is strongly recommended.
Advanced Business Electives include any course (3000- or 4000-level) with a ACCT, BANA, BUAD, ECON, FINC, MGIS, MGMT, or MKTG prefix.

This Transfer Advising Guide provides 63 college-level hours, of which 63 will transfer and apply towards the Sam Houston State University baccalaureate degree in Business.

For the Blinn Colleges District this transfer advising guide is degree complete and field of study complete based on student course selection.
